Write winning grant proposals for nonprofits and social impact organizations. Covers grant research and selection, proposal structure, compelling narrative writing, budget development, evaluation plans, and submission best practices. Use when applying for foundation grants, government funding, corporate sponsorships, or capacity-building grants. Trigger on "write a grant proposal", "grant writing", "apply for funding", "foundation grant", "nonprofit fundraising", "how to get grants".
Investment-banking pitch book for strategic alternatives — trading comps, precedent transactions, valuation football field, DCF sensitivity, strategic-options matrix, process recommendation. Built by adapting `assets/template.html` so IB-specific chrome, disclosure bands, and source labels are preserved. Use for Board / sell-side discussion materials. Not a VC fundraising deck (see html-ppt-pitch-deck). Workflow adapted from Anthropic financial-services Pitch Agent (Apache-2.0).
Assembles comprehensive board and investor update decks by pulling perspectives from all C-suite roles. Covers deck structure, narrative frameworks, bad news delivery, section-by-section guidance, and common mistakes. Use when preparing board meetings, investor updates, quarterly business reviews, fundraising narratives, or when user mentions board deck, investor update, board pack, board presentation, quarterly review, fundraising deck, or investor deck.
The YC meta-game distilled from 4000+ funded companies. Demo day prep, batch dynamics, investor updates, "launch now" mentality, talking to users obsessively. This is the playbook that turned $125K checks into trillion-dollar companies. Use when "yc, y combinator, demo day, batch, investor update, office hours, launch now, talk to users, do things that don't scale, make something people want, startup school, yc application, series a prep, post-yc, yc, startup, accelerator, demo-day, fundraising, launch, users, growth" mentioned.
Build investor-ready pitch scripts in multiple formats (10-min, 5-min, 2-min, 1-min elevator, investor email). Produces pitch narratives, Q&A preparation, pitch scoring rubric, and optional investor roleplay practice. Use when the user wants to create a pitch, prepare for investor meetings, craft a startup pitch, write a fundraising narrative, or practice their pitch. Triggers for "pitch deck", "investor pitch", "pitch my startup", "fundraising deck", "seed deck", "how to pitch", "investor meeting", "demo day", "prepare pitch", "pitch script", "elevator pitch for investors", "pitch practice", "practice my pitch", "investor roleplay", or any request to present a startup to investors, accelerators, or partners. Works standalone — no prior startup-design session needed, but leverages its output if available.
Build three-statement financial models (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) with revenue forecasting, assumption management, and scenario analysis. Use this skill when the user needs to project financials, build a fundraising model, create financial projections for a business plan, or evaluate M&A targets — even if they say 'build a financial model', 'project our revenue', 'how much money will we make next year', or 'model this acquisition'.
Routes startup and business requests (idea validation, market/competitors, pricing, GTM, fundraising, marketing, business docs) to the right skills; hands off building and ops to other routers
Nonprofit fundraising performance analysis with donor segmentation, campaign ROI, retention metrics, and trend analysis. Use when evaluating fundraising effectiveness, analyzing donor data, or planning campaigns.
Use this skill when a CFO, VP Finance, Controller, or Head of Finance needs to orchestrate the full financial operations of a company — from strategic financial planning and investor reporting to day-to-day control of accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, tax compliance, and revenue operations. This is the top-level financial orchestrator that commissions all finance sub-skills, maintains the single source of truth for all company numbers, drives budget allocation, manages cash flow, ensures regulatory compliance, and produces board-ready financial reports. Trigger this skill when anyone needs a comprehensive view of company finances, a board pack, a fundraising data room, or needs to coordinate across invoicing, payroll, commissions, procurement, taxes, and expenses simultaneously.
StartuPage platform help — startup ecosystem combining Stripe/LemonSqueezy/Polar/RevenueCat/Dodo-verified MRR leaderboard, founder + startup sub-page profiles, and a four-track Opportunities marketplace (hiring, fundraising Open Rounds, co-founder matching, startup acquisitions). Free plan with 2 themes and the StartuPage badge, Starter $5/mo (1 opportunity, custom domain, badge removal, 8 themes), Growth $9/mo (3 opportunities, pro analytics), Lifetime $179. Use when setting up a founder profile and choosing whether to show exact MRR / a range / private, connecting a payment provider for verified revenue, picking a pricing plan or the Lifetime Pass, posting a hiring / fundraising / co-founder / acquisition opportunity, comparing StartuPage vs TrustMRR / Indie Hackers / Peerlist / Wellfound, or climbing the Top Startups or Top Founders leaderboard. Do NOT use for cross-marketplace side-project valuation (use /sales-side-project-valuation).
Grassroots-first campaign design for anyone being outspent — startups vs. incumbents, NGOs vs. corporate comms, movements vs. state-backed machines, solo brands vs. big-budget competitors. Ideates awareness, launch, fundraising, mobilization, community-build, counter-narrative, referral, founder-story, and coalition campaigns. Triggers on "campaign plan", "marketing strategy", "ad budget", "should I advertise", "paid vs organic", "launch plan", "grassroots", "low budget marketing", "NGO campaign", "outspent", "competitor has bigger budget", "how do I compete without money". Also trigger on any spend asymmetry, collapsing organic reach, rising CPAs, or a trust/credibility problem — even without the word "campaign". Nudge activation when the user debates buying ads, boosting posts, or hiring influencers; they are likely about to burn money on a channel that will not persuade.
